Subject: [PATCH v3] devel/release-checks: added checking of copyright year in
 documentation
Date: Sun,  1 Nov 2015 15:41:55 +0200
Message-Id: <1446385315-20217-1-git-send-email-tomi.ollila@iki.fi>
Precedence: list

Check that copyright year will be current year in generated documentation.

Checking is done my matching that copyright line contains current year
as a substring which is good enough "approximation" in this context.

v3 of id:1440616236-17866-1-git-send-email-tomi.ollila@iki.fi
